MI5 false evidence was a serious failing, Cooper says
- In London on Wednesday, High Court judges ordered a 'robust and independent' investigation into MI5 after rejecting two previous inquiries as seriously deficient.
- Following BBC revelations, two official inquiries into MI5's false evidence were found to have serious procedural flaws and omitted key facts, leading to rejection by the High Court.
- Recorded BBC evidence and court findings revealed MI5 provided false information, prompting judges to conclude new evidence painted a significantly different picture from earlier inquiries.
- Following the court ruling, the government backs a thorough investigation overseen by Sir Brian Leveson, with the Attorney General reviewing MI5 evidence procedures, to restore oversight integrity.
- Beyond this case, oversight experts warn that trust in MI5 remains fragile, emphasizing the need for reforms and transparency to prevent future failures and restore public confidence.
